The Human Skills AI Can’t Replace: Adaptability
2026-04-15 12:30 - 13:30 | Online
In our final session, we will explore adaptability, a uniquely human capacity grounded in our curiosity to explore new ideas, our resilience in the face of challenges, and our perseverance to keep moving forward when progress feels uncertain. While AI can quickly generate information, suggest connections, and support problem-solving, it does not experience motivation, setbacks, or the determination required to grow through change. It is our adaptability that gives AI its value, allowing us to use it as a tool while the drive to question, recover, and persist remains a distinctly human strength.
